[Numans_Left_Peg]

Tav currently shìting himself.

I jest , but what a start from the boy.

Aribo?

 

[rfc4ever]

Great play in the lead up to the Jack chance so close to a goal, more of the same rangers please. Also Defoe clearly held if the standards set by last old firm are anything to go by

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

Imagine being an 18 year old attacking full back coming into a side with Defoe in the centre to aim balls at. Living the dream.

 

[devilman]

Jones keeps moving inside and that is giving us nothing other than Halliday out on the left. He needs to stick out on the wing until he has the ball at least.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Are stranraer the fattest opponents ever?

They've eaten susan Boyle

Rules on holding in the box only apply to Rangers. All other teams are exempted.

 

[BlueSeaOfIbrox]

Can't watch but I like what I'm hearing re Patterson. Surely he has to get some starts in the league now and see what he can do

 

[Southsideblueblood]

At the risk of invoking Captain Obvious, we could do with a goal.

Crowded box but we’re a little blunt.

We find it harder to link with Defoe than Alfredo. It’s my only worry for the league games.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Patterson unlucky there...obviously Defoe isn't quite up to speed with the young mans vision!

 

[dynamo_rosco]

The new blue Cafu

 

[WinkieWATP]

Tav currently shìting himself.

I jest , but what a start from the boy.

He was superb against Wrexham aswell. Only times I’ve really seen the lad other than clips but he looks a player.

 

[Jaws II]

Halliday and Jones have to do more.

 

[Twosignals]

Young Paterson’s showing no fear, possibly trying to hard to pass, rather than shooting.

 

[devilman]

Some great defending now by Patterson. He is really putting on a good show here today. Lively down the right. Nice passing and good covering.

 

[LiborSionko14]

I know he’s a bear so I’ll give him a little slack but fûck me their keeper wasting time is already doing my tits in.

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

Nice strong defending from the young lad there too.

 

[buster60]

Patterson is a great prospect. No need to worry about putting him in the team.

 

[iprod]

Tav must be gutted to see that hes just lost his place in the team

 

[Seaside Blue]

Impressed with Patterson so far.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Bit blunt the first 25 minutes.

Left flank offering nothing so far.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Tav's jackets on a shoogly peg here lol Paterson not looking out of place at all.

I know, I know, it's just Stranrear.

 

[Kenny1b]

Hes been flying lately

Haha. Tried to correct it as well but too slow or you boys are too quick

 

[IHeardTheMightyRoar]

Right, I'm sold on Patterson now.

He’s playing well but remember he has virtually no defensive responsibilities here with the way the game is playing and his final ball has not been there yet.

Looks promising for sure.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Jones needs to take that down the wing. Yet again, though, he comes inside to a crowded area.

Nothing coming down the left.

 

[devilman]

Few attempts at a handball from the Stranraer player.

 

[Taiwan Loyal]

Surely that was a fuckin handball?

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Defoes control to bring that ball down there was utterly sublime. Trapped & turned in the 1 move.

 

[Dio]

Handball. Not given.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Our left hand sides a bucket of shite so far

 

[MacBear]

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Patterson might just be the greatest right back in the world.

Patterson is a cracking wee prospect. Big things ahead for him.

his marauding is reminding me of Alan Hutton and our captain!

 

[Scarface]

Mon to feck Rangers.

 

[kensington blue nose]

Do we think players of other teams that are set up so defensively by their managers give a shit? Or are they ok with it?
Must be crap knowing you’re coming into a game knowing you can’t play the game the way it should be played.

 

[devilman]

Another excellent pass into the box by Patterson. Just knocked away from Defoe again.

Did you care in 2008 against Fiorentina?

 

[Family bam]

Cheating Beaton is a fu.ckin imposter.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Ok that's half an hour, come on and get a goal Rangers.

 

[MacBear]

Big Niko wants a goal!

 

[Vote For Pedro]

Is Jones more through the middle?

So far it’s working for them and if they manage to get a free kick in our half they’ve got a chance to score.

I’d say the Stranraer XI are enjoying this and dreaming now of producing a result.

We need to score here because with every minute they’ll be getting more confident.

Would you rather watch your team try and keep things tight or watch them take a pumping?

 

[Gloucester Bear]

According to the bbc match stats stranraer have had 66% possession so far.

 

[Coda]

Beaton must have 0-0 half time on his coupon.

 

[IHeardTheMightyRoar]

Aribo assaulted.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

How was that not a f.ucking booking Beaton you f.ucking cheating bastard.

 

[ecossebear]

Defoe, for someone with little game time, has the most phenomenal first touch I’ve seen! I really would love to have seen us have someone up front with him this game.

 

[devilman]

Nasty challenge on Aribo there. Right to play advantage but cheatin' Beaton needs to have a word with the Stranraer player.

I hope you were on the moon in 2008.

 

[Coda]

Must be based on what they can see from the roundabout.

 

[Elric]

Why no booking ?
